The cryptocurrency market staged a strong comeback over the past 24 hours, with major digital assets posting sharp gains and adding nearly $150 billion to total market capitalization.

Market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum broke key psychological levels, while XRP and several large-cap altcoins followed with solid advances. The rally also triggered liquidations of bearish positions, signaling a sudden shift in short-term market sentiment.

Bitcoin Breaks Above $67,000

Bitcoin climbed above the important $67,000 level, trading near $67,482 at the time of writing. The asset gained more than 7% in 24 hours, adding roughly $100 billion to its market capitalization.

Bitcoin’s total market cap now stands around $1.34 trillion, with daily trading volume exceeding $41 billion. The sharp upward move forced many short sellers to close their positions, contributing to the rapid price increase.

While the breakout is encouraging for bulls, Bitcoin must maintain strength above this level to confirm sustained upward momentum.

Ethereum Reclaims $2,000

Ethereum outperformed Bitcoin on a percentage basis, rising more than 11% to trade above $2,000. The asset added approximately $23 billion to its market value in a single day.

Ethereum’s market capitalization now sits near $244 billion, supported by trading volume of over $20 billion in 24 hours. The $2,000 level is widely viewed as both a psychological and technical threshold. Holding above it could strengthen investor confidence in the near term.

XRP Joins the Rally

XRP also moved higher, trading around $1.44 after gaining nearly 7% during the rally.

XRP’s market capitalization stands close to $88 billion, with daily trading volume surpassing $3 billion. Solana, Dogecoin and Cardano also added more than 10% in the last 24 hours.

Short Liquidations Fuel Momentum

The rally led to nearly $300 million in short liquidations, meaning traders who had bet on falling prices were forced to close their positions. Such forced buying can accelerate price movements and amplify volatility in the short term.

Despite the strong rebound, broader sentiment indicators remain cautious. The Crypto Fear & Greed Index continues to reflect extreme fear, suggesting that many investors are still hesitant.

Level to Watch: $2.35 Trillion Market Cap

The total cryptocurrency market capitalization is now around $2.33 trillion. Analysts are monitoring the $2.35 trillion level as a major resistance point.

If the market breaks above this threshold with strong trading volume, it could signal the beginning of a more sustained recovery. However, failure to hold gains may result in renewed volatility.
